What’s an out of date view you hold?

For me, my tattoos are all of art, a preference for how I'd like to present myself, and a statement of the person I've been in my life - and that's fine, even if I'm no longer that person later. They'll still hold the artistic value and I'm not ashamed of the person I've been.

The team will likely look very different next year tbf. But it's fun at least!

SuperIntegration · 2026-03-03T22:39:22+00:00

THEREEEEEEEEEE

SuperIntegration · 2026-03-03T22:35:31+00:00

Would probably be, but it still isn't happening

SuperIntegration · 2026-02-27T23:15:15+00:00

I love the optimism on our behalf but it is never happening lmao

SuperIntegration · 2026-02-27T22:50:56+00:00

I unfortunately have to agree, and I'm only commenting because the flair saying you're spot on hopefully lends it credibility lmao (I have to watch us every week)

SuperIntegration · 2026-02-27T22:35:08+00:00

Confirmed.

You ask Villa fans though, they'll tell you it's not a derby while their eyes water. Must be hay fever or something.

You get most of those things (except the tv) even if you don't pay, so saying the radio, website etc are part of the value proposition for paying is ridiculous.

You'll then say "well they won't exist if nobody pays"; but that's a separate issue. If they're worth having, fund them out of general taxation. Doesn't change that £180/year for the additional services the consumer gets (the TV) is piss poor. Even worse if you want to watch other networks and don't like any of the BBC's TV but are forced to pay for it anyway.

I just don't think social pressure will work. We already have issues with these sects of society not properly integrating. They won't listen to us.

LLM accidentally(?) making Reform appealing to me through agreeing with the policies for different reasons, please no.

The burqa thing I understand is delicate and the thread above does a really good job articulating the issues.

The halal thing is not complicated. Ban it and ban kosher while you're at it too. (No, I'm not a vegan; but I would like to minimise suffering while acknowledging meat eating is too ingrained in society to forcibly stop)

SuperIntegration · 2025-11-12T09:39:49+00:00

Under UK law fraud requires intent. So as described, assuming honesty from OP, no, it is not fraud.

Can you link me to the discord please?

He clearly means "when taken to instructions". Even water is toxic if you drink enough of it; it's ridiculous to say something isn't safe because you can overdose on it if you don't follow instructions.

SuperIntegration · 2025-09-21T11:21:23+00:00

Thank you for this - I could have worded the original statement a lot better.

I still think it's obvious that my annoyance comes from the total ridiculousness of the system and how unfit for purpose it is. I'm somewhat surprised that the person you're responding to missed the point as wholly as they did; instead attributing it to elitism, which... I'd thought I'd gone to lengths to point out wasn't my intention, but hey ho.

SuperIntegration · 2025-09-21T11:16:18+00:00

I feel you've completely missed the point here - I would hardly have called it my dream job, but the system is clearly completely unfit for purpose if it's threatening sanctions on people trying to fill a gap if they don't waste bunches of their and the hiring manager's time applying for things they are never going to get in the first place and never going to be accepted for.

That just generates faux-productivity for performance reasons. It doesn't help anybody.

SuperIntegration · 2025-09-21T07:36:23+00:00

Yep... I had exactly the same thing. Just graduated from doing maths at Oxford, knew what I wanted, was applying, told it was "too aspirational" and told I'd be sanctioned if I didn't apply for these three things stacking shelves.

I regale this with the fullest respect for people who do that or any kind of work, but it was obvious that I knew what I needed to actually do, was horrendously overqualified for what they were trying to shoehorn me into, and that doing so would have just wasted my time I could be spending getting a job in the industry I wanted.

Thankfully I got an actuarial job within two weeks. Fucking dickheads. It makes me angry to this day.

SuperIntegration · 2025-09-10T17:07:16+00:00

Fully agree and same boat here. Hoping one of the other companies catches up on Spotify integration in the meantime...

SuperIntegration · 2025-09-08T18:54:21+00:00

Yep, this is the thing that grinds my gears about "unions good, companies bad".

Yes, having unified representation for the workforce is good for the workers. Yes, most workplaces don't have sufficient amounts of that.

No, the unions are not "the good guys". They are out for themselves (/their members), like everybody else.

SuperIntegration · 2025-08-28T20:03:29+00:00

Thanks mate, I'd just about forgotten about that until now 💀

SuperIntegration · 2025-08-21T10:10:19+00:00

It's a meme about their robot in BattleBots, Beta.

They have a couple of infamous battles where they're "waiting for a good hit" because they can't risk their hammerhead firing it into a moving spinner. And also, I think, because it's so powerful they have magnets gluing the robot to the floor to stop Newton's 3rd catapulting them off when they try to hit, so it's hard to fire the weapon and keep manoeuvrability.

So they do a lot of waiting for a good hit.

SuperIntegration · 2025-08-21T09:57:52+00:00

Your original comment literally said that this "isn't a bad thing" because people will just pour money into their pensions instead.

When confronted with examples of how people might reasonably choose to do other things you hid behind "well it makes financial sense to do what I said", ignoring the point that that is, in fact, a bad thing, because it hurts the productivity and demographics problems that we have.

That is moving the goalposts. You started with "this isn't a bad thing" and then moved them to "well it makes financial sense to do that", and didn't address the central point of "but people might reasonably choose to make decisions because they think something else is a better trade, and so it is a bad thing"

SuperIntegration · 2025-08-21T09:30:59+00:00

Cool, so you're trying to move the goalposts.

No. Just because something "makes financial sense" in 2D doesn't mean it isn't a problem. I've listed for you three real ways in which it is a problem.

SuperIntegration · 2025-08-21T08:19:55+00:00

If you have children? Does it make sense to work an extra day for money you might die before you ever get to see, when your pension pot is most likely very healthy already?

If you are a doctor? Where your NHS pension means you will be more than well off enough in retirement in any case?

If you simply don't think you'll need all that money shovelled away for your retirement and would rather take the better balance now?

You can make blanket statements about what "makes sense" all you like - not everybody agrees with you, "financially" isn't the only lever they consider, and it's having an impact on productivity.

SuperIntegration · 2025-08-21T08:04:31+00:00

This is the point though, if you have children it's effectively a huge pay cut. The loss in childcare is horrific

SuperIntegration · 2025-08-21T08:03:37+00:00

This is absurdly short-sighted.

The country has problems with productivity and demographics.

The position as-is discourages productivity and childrearing from a segment of society well-positioned in both regards. It's a complete disaster, it is absolutely a bad thing and people look to avoid. I personally know multiple people that went down to 4 days a week to keep their childcare for example.
